Autohide = Good
by John on Wednesday 05/Mar/2008, @14:05

I think you make "autohide" sound a lot more complicated than it is. It's a feature I've been using since Windows 95. I like it because i A) frees up extra screen. B) Makes the screen look "taller" (that helps when having to text document pages side by side) C) gives me less distractions from what I currently work on..

When the taskbar is hidden I tend to focus on one task and not "multi-task" aka. get sidetracked. It's well known that I have the attention span of a goldfish.. ooo shiny!!

What were we talking about again? :p

oh yea. When the taskbar is hidden I'm less tempted to explore the "start menu" aka. Kicker/Kickoff, or whatever it's called now. When it's visible I'm known to start multiple programs, games, browser windows, and don't get my actual work done as quickly.

So Autohide = Good.
